My husband and I dined at Tommy's Wok on Saturday, April 16th. We travel full-time so we are always looking for fun, local, independent places to check out. We had spent a wonderful day exploring nearby Golden Gate NRA, but we had lost track of time and it was almost 3pm and we hadn't eaten anything yet that day. We were really hungry and wanted a nice meal. Since we were traveling in our RV with our pup, we called ahead to order takeout and the person I spoke to on the phone was very pleasant and efficient. We ordered the Chef's Appetizer Sampler for 2, the Prawn Lovers Duo, and the Orange Chicken. We were really pleased with the sampler for the most part: the chicken and beef satay were both excellent, the shrimp were tasty, and the crab wontons were good. We didn't feel the ribs were anything special, and my husband said the egg rolls were just okay. The orange chicken was quite good - much spicier than what we've had elsewhere. I like spicy, but it was a bit too spicy for my husband and I do think if that was the only thing I was eating it might be a bit much. I should also note that the broccoli served as a side to the orange chicken was quite cold. The Prawn Lovers Duo was really good. I loved the garlic version with the snap peas and also really liked the sweet/spicy version. We actually had a couple of leftover shrimp that I refrigerated for later and I thought they were even better cold! One thing to note: I was surprised that the rice was not included with the entrees and we ordered a small to have as a side and it was cold just like the broccoli. Overall, we enjoyed our meal very much and this is definitely a cut above your standard Chinese takeout restaurant. However, there were a few misses like the ribs, egg rolls, and cold broccoli and rice. I think our total was around $70 before tip, which is maybe a bit much for a lunch for 2 but I know we ordered more food than we normally would, but I do think at that price everything needs to be...
Read moreSorry, I have to take away 1 star because of their new pricing! My God, $18 for prawn dishes and $11 for pork fried rice. Really good Americanized Chinese food but you have to pay through the nose for it. Last night I paid $43.50 for a take out order with Shrimp Rolls $11, Garlic Prawns $18, and Pork Fried Rice $11.
Please, please, please let someone do Delivery again!
Hey man , they have Chinese food. It's fresh and tasty but don't expect authentic Chinese flavor because the new breed of Marinites don't know what authentic flavor is. Unfortunately, most ethnic restaurants in Marin County have un-flavored the food. Sheila Entitled and Carl Complainer get to all the great ethnic restaurants and whine "Oh, it's too spicy, can't you leave all the peppers out? We'd come back if you'd only change the recipe and then we'd tell all our friends how good you're food is". "You know, we're the Newly rich and coolest, cool people in Marin and we swing a lot of weight. You can get Rich and be just like us if you'll just conform a lot and copy what we do. We're the Coolest thing that ever happened to Marin County." "Remember, your authentic food just doesn't resonate with the New Marin." "Be just like us and everything will be the Coolest. You do want to be Cool, don't you?" "Everyone wants to be Cool! If you'd be exactly like us, you will be respected just like us. We have all this New Money, and by the way, make sure, absolutely sure that you Always demand New, fresh bills when you get change or when you are in the bank. Oh, I wouldn't dream of carrying old dollar bills around. They don't scream out "I'm Rich and you're not" to the 99%. Know your place in Marin...
Read moreI came on a date and the host who seated us was incredibly nice. However two other servers came over to us and questioned why we weren’t sharing our own food. We didn’t realize it was a restaurant where you order several plates and share we just had our own. One of the older ladies comes up to me as I’m finishing my food and 1. Stares at me for a moment 2. Then says “wow you are the whole thing.” I had terrible issues regarding that and I was enjoying my curry up until then. I started crying (trying to hide it) and my date knew so we got out of there quick. We didn’t directly ask for the check; before we finished the check was slammed on our table; no words said. We were not being loud. We weren’t giving anyone attitude. Yet overall like all employees were silently judging, staring, and questioning simply because we did not know that plates were split up especially since it was...
